Seems plausible since the owners apparently made it clear to Bruce they have no intention on sanctioning a new contract for Terry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose there would be some tension between wanting to keep the wages down for FFP, and his expectations. Unless you mean the kind of concrete offer that goes "Sign here, or you'll be holding up the next Crossrail bridge to be built". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The usual idiots on Facebook are slating Terry calling him money grabbing and messing us about etc.. However I don't think we have even been in contact with him.

Mr.Messy Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I hope he dont sign now as I've just taken delivery of my new Kodjia 26 away shirt. Unless he takes another number then it is "welcome John" from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, it is germane. As recently posted in the last page or so, his arrival would bolster Bruce's position with the fans and in the dressing room. It would also bolster the organisation of the defence specifically and potentially a more joined up team from front to back. However, there is a big potential downside to it. Quite simply, because of the fact it keeps Bruce in control it is means there is a significant chance that we will come up short again. It's a tough one. Choice a/ 38yoTerry, who hasn't played a competitive game in nigh-on four months signs and Bruce goes nowhere anytime soon. Choice b) 38yo Terry doesn't sign and Bruce is out on his ear soon. Choice c) The Doomsday option. The second part of Choice a) and the first part of Choice b) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does signing JT guarantee that Steve Bruce will still be our manager irrespective of how the rest of this season goes? - No. Should we just sign JT then and see if that can make a difference to the club's fortunes this season? - Yes.

wilko154 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Can we close this thread now? If this was going to happen it would have been done and dusted by now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 He only turned down Spartak (who are in the Europa League and 3rd placed last season in Russia) yesterday or the day before? I would expect he was considering Russia above playing for Villa from a last hurrah perspective. If that is the case it's totally understandable if he is taking a day or two to decide on any offer we have made (if we even have made one).

Czechlad Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I read that he turned them down because he wanted double the salary they offered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 10 minutes ago, jim said: I personally don’t think we have made any kind of offer. Agreed. Terry has himself said that he would be happy to return, so the only plausible explaination is we haven't made him an offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I honestly don't see the appeal of why Terry would want to play his last days in Russia. No appeal whatsoever . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
